[RTTY] Debate

[w1hkj]

I'm new to this group, but not new to amateur radio ... been licensed 
continuously for 55 years.  I find the discussion trail quite humorous, 
so perhaps a bit of tongue in cheek humor is in order.  Why not base the 
class of the entrant on investment?  Perhaps named for Biblical characters?

Class
	Requirement
Pharisee
	You've bought all of your equipment, antennas and software.  Total 
investment in excess of $10,000.
Sadducee
	All equipment / software purchased.  Can't afford to spend as much as 
the Pharisee (He's sad you see)
Disciple
	Everything is used gear, didn't pay the guy who wrote the software ... 
He probably gets more than enough.
Apostle
	Either hardware or supporting software is home brew ... drinks too much 
coffee
Messiah
	Designed and made all hardware, antennas and software.   Eschews paying 
for anything he or she can create.  Occasionally transmits perfect 
signals without turning on the gear (rather like walking on water).


Y'all have a great ham day.  It's nearly perfect weather in North Alabama.
